Water and infrastructure management in Mexico and Dominican_

Overview

In early October 2026, authorities in Mexico and the Dominican Republic focused on infrastructure and water management. In Mexico, officials in Soledad de Graciano Sánchez managed risks from heavy rains and dam discharges, while paving projects were underway in the metropolitan area. In Landa de Matamoros, the administration worked to improve water access through catchment basin rehabilitation and the installation of community cisterns.

In the Dominican Republic, efforts included a RD$1,160 million sanitation and storm drain project in Los Alcarrizos to benefit over 72,000 residents. However, by mid-October, water scarcity became a significant concern in Santo Domingo. The director of the Corporación del Acueducto y Alcantarillado de Santo Domingo (CAASD), Fellito Suberví, reported that drought had reduced water availability, leaving several aqueducts operating at less than 50% capacity.

By late October, infrastructure expansion efforts were reported in Santiago, where the director of CORAASAN, Andrés Cueto Rosario, announced the expansion of the Cibao Central aqueduct and the construction of the San Francisco de Jacagua aqueduct to increase water availability. Meanwhile, CAASD reported significant increases in water network repairs and sanitary network maintenance in Santo Domingo compared to previous years.
